05 Photo Repair and Restoration/Examples/Volume 01/Old Photo Cleanup

This archive image was scanned directly from an old photograph. The estimated date this image was taken was probably in the early part of the 1920’s. The photograph has a minor fold across the centre section of the image and has several minor mould stains. Apart from these two issues the image was in relatively good condition.

The majority of this image was carefully cleaned up using a cloning technique to repair the damaged section of image and remove the mould stains. Finally a very subtle tonal adjustment was preformed on the image to enhance some of the finer details.
